We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1999 NSX’s oil should be changed according to Acura’s recommended oil change intervals.
See mileage and month specifics in the above table.
No matter the mileage, your NSX may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on,
you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine,
sense an oil smell in the cabin,
or notice excess vehicle exhaust.
You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Acura if you regularly haul heavy loads,
frequent dusty roads,
enjoy off-roading,
or drive at low speeds for long distances.
More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Acura NSX.
In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

but also help your car perform down the road.
